CZ-USA | GENUINE FACTORY STEEL MAGAZINE
Classic Blued Steel. Factory CZ Feeding.
The CZ-USA 12001 5-Round Blued Steel Magazine is the genuine factory steel magazine for CZ rimfire rifles in .22 LR and .17 HM2. Compact, low-profile and built with the traditional steel body CZ owners have trusted for years, it's the right spare for a hunting rifle, a classic sporter or any CZ that deserves to look as good as it shoots.
Not every rimfire needs a long, high-capacity magazine hanging below the stock. For hunters, sporter owners and shooters who carry their rifle more than they bench it, a 5-round steel magazine keeps the profile clean and the handling natural. The CZ 12001 delivers exactly that: a factory CZ design with a blued steel body that matches the character of a walnut-stocked CZ and stands up well to years of use in the field.
Steel Construction, Factory Specifications.
Because it's the original CZ-USA part, the 12001 is built to the factory's own dimensions for reliable feeding in the rifles it was made for. It's an ideal way to replace a lost magazine, add a backup to the range bag, or restore the traditional steel look to a CZ that shipped with polymer. If you'd rather have more rounds between reloads, the CZ-USA 10-Round Polymer Magazine uses the same factory pattern with double the capacity—many owners keep both on hand.
Building a CZ 457 for Competition?
When the rifle moves from the woods to the match line, billet aluminum magazines are the natural next step. We stock the L3i CZ 457 Billet Aluminum 10-Round Magazine and L3i 13-Round Magazine, along with the Position7 CZ 457 Billet 10-Round Magazine and Position7 13-Round Magazine—machined specifically for the CZ 457 and popular with PRS rimfire and NRL22 shooters.
For quicker, more consistent reloads, the DIP CZ 455/457 Aluminum Magazine Well replaces the factory polymer guide with machined aluminum, and the DIP Mag Well & Bumpy Release Combo adds a more positive magazine release. With more than six years building and supporting CZ rimfire rifles, Pete's Pillars manufactures and stocks the parts that make a CZ shoot and handle better—browse the full lineup in our CZ 457 Parts & Upgrades Collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment, steel versus polymer, and choosing the right magazine for your CZ rimfire.

Will it work in my CZ 455?
Is this a genuine CZ factory magazine?
Yes. This is the original CZ-USA magazine, part number 12001, factory new in its original packaging. It is not a third-party copy.
Will it work in my .22 WMR or .17 HMR CZ?
No. The 12001 is built for .22 LR and .17 HM2 only. Magnum rimfire CZ rifles in .22 WMR and .17 HMR use a different, larger magazine.
Should I choose steel 5-round or polymer 10-round?
Choose the steel 5-round for a compact profile and traditional look—ideal for hunting and classic sporters. Choose the polymer 10-round for more capacity at the range. Many owners keep both.
How does it compare to L3i and Position7 billet magazines?
The factory steel magazine is the classic choice for hunting and everyday shooting. Billet aluminum magazines from L3i and Position7 are machined specifically for the CZ 457, offer 10- and 13-round capacities, and are built with competition shooters in mind.
